Awesome

The one word to describe today was AWESOME! We have heard that word is used too often and no longer holds the meaning it should hold but today that word is the only word that must be used. Church was filled with hundreds of voices praising God. Oh for a thousand tongues to tell how much it meant to us old people to see our future church worshiping our Lord. Below is a short video taken of the ISU AC young group singing Awesome God then multiply that group over and over, just imagine the delight on our ears and hearts today.

When All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name that's number 80 in the Hymns of Zion was given one could for sure feel and almost see the praise soaring up to heaven. Then to top off the day Peoria had 2 wedding announcements. Peoria sister Larissa Feucht was announced to Tristan Herrmann from Princeville while Tim Funk's son Isaac was announced to a sister from Atlanta, GA. No one wanted to leave.
Mark offered to give Nick a ride home from church to his dad's house in Pekin, IL which worked out well. We were going to run out of grain tomorrow and I am babysitting tomorrow and wasn't sure how I could get the grain before running out. Well Nick lives near Big R so in we ran still in our church clothes and bought 500 pounds. We had all kinds of people offering to help. Probably thinking we were someone famous or something. Who shops at Big R in their very best clothes?
We had a big group show up for volley ball this evening. The weather was perfect for playing. Below are a few pictures of the evening.

 Above and Below Tate is showing me his tricks on the trampoline.

 Of course a few pictures of the actual games must be posted. 

 Below Spark, Jacob, Andi and their son Charlie are hiking over to watch the games and join in when a new player was needed.

Charlie had fun with a volley ball. We start them young around here.

 Later Spark and mom made a nice hot camp fire. The evening was cool and the fire felt great.

 We stayed around visiting until it just plain got late. Mark is already in bed and I'll be heading there just as soon as the coffee is made for tomorrow. Thank You GOD for giving us such a wonderful blessed day.
